Something wrong there - if I right-click on an attachment and choose "Save
As" (which is what you /should/ be doing, not just using "save") it defaults
to my Documents folder...

That weird location is where it would save from the application (word, excel,
whatever) when you have the attachment open, as suggested, save first, then
open it.

understood...but what I want to do is right click and have a folder of my choosing be the default folder for saving attachments...not "My Documents" and then have to navigate from there to the folder of my choice. Explanation...I have 2 emails set up, 1 for work, 1 for personal. What I want to do is be able to right click to save an attachment and instead of the "My Documents" folder being the default location, a different folder, of my choosing, being the default choice.I have created a separate folder heirarchy on my C drive for WORK and PERSONAL

A simple Google search would have found the answer.

However, I don't think you can have different locations for separate Outlook
profiles. It's one location for everything AFAIK
